Explanation:
Oedipus' tragic flaw is excessive pride. He became so prideful when he found out that he had children with his mother, that he gouged his eyes out. He was too self-absorbed in the matter to think of his family but so overcome with guilt and shame that he couldnt bear to see his children anymore.
The perfect statement that best describes the passage is "<span>Fortune ever fair Kissed him and with such a lecherous affection He lost his head before he was aware." Which means that the main character had taken advantage of his fortune, and the hardwork he put up into. He led a life filled with mindless decisions which led the down fall of his pride and his fortune. </span>
